Danny was able to reconnect with his children by sending them CDs and DVDs and by taking part in the Storybook Dads workshops at Dartmoor Prison.
When I came to prison all contact with my children was cut off. I’d always been very involved in their lives and so I found it really hard.
I know it was my own fault and that made it even harder. My ex-partner didn’t think I deserved to have contact with them so I never received a reply to my letters and I wasn’t allowed to speak to them on the phone. I was really sorry for letting them down and needed them to know I loved them and missed them so I them recorded a CD for them at Storybook Dads. I was nervous because my reading isn’t great, but I managed it. The CD was sent out and I waited and waited but I still didn’t hear anything back.
I did another CD and then I did a workshop where I wrote a story, typed it up and illustrated it. That was even harder because of my writing skills and also because I’d never used a computer before. I was really pleased with my book though and proud that I had been able to do it.
